Nepenthes (/nɪˈpɛnθiːz/) is a genus of carnivorous plants, also known as tropical pitcher plants, or monkey cups, in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises about 170 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. They are mostly liana-forming plants of the Old World tropics, ranging from South China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines; westward to Madagascar (two species) and the Seychelles (one); southward to Australia (three) and New Caledonia (one); and northward to India (one) and Sri Lanka (one). The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey cups" refers to the fact that monkeys were once thought to drink rainwater from the pitchers, however this is false, the pitchers are filled with digestive fluids not water and monkeys do not drink from them.

On our holiday they had great cups with just the right handles. I know this is not an original idea, but I just wanted to do this for a long time. So indeed this is not very creative, yet I think the outcome is appealing to the eye.
The red background is made of a light shining through a bottle of lemonade.
Espresso, as long as it's decaf, I drink it every day, usually a latte in the morning. Have to admit it was an acquired taste, picked up in Italy.

Found these colorful plastic cups with great shapes that make an interesting still life. Finding all these forgotten items stuffed away throughout the house to hopefully photo during the quarantine.
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.
Also known as: Hedgehog Cactus, Mojave Mound Cactus, Kingcup Cactus, That Spiny Thing You’ll Regret Touching
This cactus is the prom queen of the desert—short, spiky, and radiant in red. The flowers look like someone dipped a shot glass in cherry Kool-Aid and dared it to grow on a porcupine.
It thrives in dry, rocky places where most plants say, “Nope,” and curl up to die. Not the Claret Cup. This one digs in, throws shade (literally none), and blooms like it’s starring in a spring fashion show for hummingbirds.
Why do I love it?
Because it’s tough, it’s gorgeous, and it only stabs you if you get too close, which is also how I feel about some relatives.
Couplet:
It blooms like a torch in the desert's embrace,
Just don't try to hug it—it'll scratch up your face.
For this week's theme I knew I wanted to include a piece from our rather large collection of custom pottery. Trouble was picking which piece and seeing them as a macro shot. In the end I picked my well used and favorite coffee mug. With my wife's new to-go mug as a background.
These pieces are beautiful hand thrown pottery from Archival Designs of Kansas City. (www.archivaldesignskc.com/portfolio/) Which just happens to be the studio of my wife's sister and her husband who do amazing work.

"You told me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crash into dust
I just let it fade away..."
October 1st is International Coffee Day so, have a nice cup of coffee!

[The Sleeper:]
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home...
Home... It's what I long for
Back home... where I belong
The city- it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow- eternity
My demons are coming to drown me
Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling
I can't keep away from its clutch
Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home
[The Miracle:]
I remember the first time she came to me
She poured out her soul all night and cried...
I remember I was told there's a new love that's born
For each one that has died...
I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home...
Home... It's what I long for
My home... where she belongs
Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taking me to my home
Help- he's my brother, but I love her
I can't keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It's calling me back to my home
"...four, four, who wants the hard [A craps "stickman" isheard ]
four?... who wants the hard four?... [calling out various betsduring ]
...shooter had one, four... [the gambling and sexsequence. ]
...one, four... one and make it the
hard way... ...got the shooter... ...coming out for a newplayer...
take your best shot, gambler... ...who wants to come?
better hop in... place your bets... who wants to come?"

[Nicholas:]
Her story- it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me
Help- regression, obsession
I can't keep away from it's clutch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home
